If you do not intend to set your master time reference to GMT (which you'll typically do if you -run a site that lets each user set their own timezone settings) there is no benefit to using this function over PHP's time() function. -</p> - - - - -<h2>mdate()</h2> - -<p>This function is identical to PHPs <a href="http://www.php.net/date">date()</a> function, except that it lets you -use MySQL style date codes, where each code letter is preceded with a percent sign: %Y %m %d etc.</p> - -<p>The benefit of doing dates this way is that you don't have to worry about escaping any characters that -are not date codes, as you would normally have to do with the date() function. Example:</p> - -<code>$datestring = "Year: %Y Month: %m Day: %d - %h:%i %a";<br /> -$time = time();<br /> -<br /> -echo mdate($datestring, $time);</code> - -<p>If a timestamp is not included in the second parameter the current time will be used.</p> - - -<h2>standard_date()</h2> - -<p>Lets you generate a date string in one of several standardized formats. Example:</p> - -<code> -$format = 'DATE_RFC822';<br /> -$time = time();<br /> -<br /> -echo standard_date($format, $time); -</code> - -<p>The first parameter must contain the format, the second parameter must contain the date as a Unix timestamp.</p> - -<p>Supported formats:</p> - -<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" style="width:100%" class="tableborder"> - <tr> - <th>Constant</th> - <th>Description</th> - <th>Example</th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_ATOM</td> - <td>Atom</td> - <td>2005-08-15T16:13:03+0000</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_COOKIE</td> - <td>HTTP Cookies</td> - <td>Sun, 14 Aug 2005 16:13:03 UTC</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_ISO8601</td> - <td>ISO-8601</td> - <td>2005-08-14T16:13:03+00:00</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_RFC822</td> - <td>RFC 822</td> - <td>Sun, 14 Aug 05 16:13:03 UTC</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_RFC850</td> - <td>RFC 850</td> - <td>Sunday, 14-Aug-05 16:13:03 UTC</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_RFC1036</td> - <td>RFC 1036</td> - <td>Sunday, 14-Aug-05 16:13:03 UTC</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_RFC1123</td> - <td>RFC 1123</td> - <td>Sun, 14 Aug 2005 16:13:03 UTC</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_RFC2822</td> - <td>RFC 2822</td> - <td>Sun, 14 Aug 2005 16:13:03 +0000</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_RSS</td> - <td>RSS</td> - <td>Sun, 14 Aug 2005 16:13:03 UTC</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td>DATE_W3C</td> - <td>World Wide Web Consortium</td> - <td>2005-08-14T16:13:03+0000</td> - </tr> -</table> - -<h2>local_to_gmt()</h2> - -<p>Takes a Unix timestamp as input and returns it as GMT. Example:</p> - -<code>$now = time();<br /> -<br /> -$gmt = local_to_gmt($now);</code> - - -<h2>gmt_to_local()</h2> - -<p>Takes a Unix timestamp (referenced to GMT) as input, and converts it to a localized timestamp based on the -timezone and Daylight Saving time submitted. Example:</p> - -<code> -$timestamp = '1140153693';<br /> -$timezone = 'UM8';<br /> -$daylight_saving = TRUE;<br /> -<br /> -echo gmt_to_local($timestamp, $timezone, $daylight_saving);</code> - -<p><strong>Note:</strong> For a list of timezones see the reference at the bottom of this page.</p> - -<h2>mysql_to_unix()</h2> - -<p>Takes a MySQL Timestamp as input and returns it as Unix. Example:</p> - -<code>$mysql = '20061124092345';<br /> -<br /> -$unix = mysql_to_unix($mysql);</code> - - -<h2>unix_to_human()</h2> - -<p>Takes a Unix timestamp as input and returns it in a human readable format with this prototype:</p> - -<code>YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM/PM</code> - -<p>This can be useful if you need to display a date in a form field for submission.</p> - -<p>The time can be formatted with or without seconds, and it can be set to European or US format. If only -the timestamp is submitted it will return the time without seconds formatted for the U.S. Examples:</p> - -<code>$now = time();<br /> -<br /> -echo unix_to_human($now); // U.S. time, no seconds<br /> -<br /> -echo unix_to_human($now, TRUE, 'us'); // U.S. time with seconds<br /> -<br /> -echo unix_to_human($now, TRUE, 'eu'); // Euro time with seconds</code> - - -<h2>human_to_unix()</h2> - -<p>The opposite of the above function. Takes a "human" time as input and returns it as Unix. This function is -useful if you accept "human" formatted dates submitted via a form. Returns FALSE (boolean) if -the date string passed to it is not formatted as indicated above. Example:</p> - -<code>$now = time();<br /> -<br /> -$human = unix_to_human($now);<br /> -<br /> -$unix = human_to_unix($human);</code> - - - - - -<h2>timespan()</h2> - -<p>Formats a unix timestamp so that is appears similar to this:</p> - -<code>1 Year, 10 Months, 2 Weeks, 5 Days, 10 Hours, 16 Minutes</code> - -<p>The first parameter must contain a Unix timestamp. The second parameter must contain a -timestamp that is greater that the first timestamp. If the second parameter empty, the current time will be used. The most common purpose -for this function is to show how much time has elapsed from some point in time in the past to now. Example:</p> - -<code>$post_date = '1079621429';<br /> -$now = time();<br /> -<br /> -echo timespan($post_date, $now);</code> - -<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The text generated by this function is found in the following language file: language/<your_lang>/date_lang.php</p> - - -<h2>days_in_month()</h2> - -<p>Returns the number of days in a given month/year. Takes leap years into account. Example:</p> -<code>echo days_in_month(06, 2005);</code> - -<p>If the second parameter is empty, the current year will be used.</p> -<h2>timezones()</h2> -<p> Takes a timezone reference (for a list of valid timezones, see the "Timezone Reference" below) and returns the number of hours offset from UTC.</p> -<p><code>echo timezones('UM5');</code></p> -<p>This function is useful when used with timezone_menu(). </p> -<h2>timezone_menu()</h2> -<p>Generates a pull-down menu of timezones, like this one:</p> - -<form action="#"> -<select name="timezones"> -<option value='UM12'>(UTC - 12:00) Enitwetok, Kwajalien</option> -<option value='UM11'>(UTC - 11:00) Nome, Midway Island, Samoa</option> -<option value='UM10'>(UTC - 10:00) Hawaii</option> -<option value='UM9'>(UTC - 9:00) Alaska</option> -<option value='UM8'>(UTC - 8:00) Pacific Time</option> -<option value='UM7'>(UTC - 7:00) Mountain Time</option> -<option value='UM6'>(UTC - 6:00) Central Time, Mexico City</option> -<option value='UM5'>(UTC - 5:00) Eastern Time, Bogota, Lima, Quito</option> -<option value='UM4'>(UTC - 4:00) Atlantic Time, Caracas, La Paz</option> -<option value='UM25'>(UTC - 3:30) Newfoundland</option> -<option value='UM3'>(UTC - 3:00) Brazil, Buenos Aires, Georgetown, Falkland Is.</option> -<option value='UM2'>(UTC - 2:00) Mid-Atlantic, Ascention Is., St Helena</option> -<option value='UM1'>(UTC - 1:00) Azores, Cape Verde Islands</option> -<option value='UTC' selected='selected'>(UTC) Casablanca, Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Lisbon, Monrovia</option> -<option value='UP1'>(UTC + 1:00) Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris, Rome</option> -<option value='UP2'>(UTC + 2:00) Kaliningrad, South Africa, Warsaw</option> -<option value='UP3'>(UTC + 3:00) Baghdad, Riyadh, Moscow, Nairobi</option> -<option value='UP25'>(UTC + 3:30) Tehran</option> -<option value='UP4'>(UTC + 4:00) Adu Dhabi, Baku, Muscat, Tbilisi</option> -<option value='UP35'>(UTC + 4:30) Kabul</option> -<option value='UP5'>(UTC + 5:00) Islamabad, Karachi, Tashkent</option> -<option value='UP45'>(UTC + 5:30) Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, New Delhi</option> -<option value='UP6'>(UTC + 6:00) Almaty, Colomba, Dhaka</option> -<option value='UP7'>(UTC + 7:00) Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta</option> -<option value='UP8'>(UTC + 8:00) Beijing, Hong Kong, Perth, Singapore, Taipei</option> -<option value='UP9'>(UTC + 9:00) Osaka, Sapporo, Seoul, Tokyo, Yakutsk</option> -<option value='UP85'>(UTC + 9:30) Adelaide, Darwin</option> -<option value='UP10'>(UTC + 10:00) Melbourne, Papua New Guinea, Sydney, Vladivostok</option> -<option value='UP11'>(UTC + 11:00) Magadan, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands</option> -<option value='UP12'>(UTC + 12:00) Auckland, Wellington, Fiji, Marshall Island</option> -</select> -</form> - -<p>This menu is useful if you run a membership site in which your users are allowed to set their local timezone value.</p> - -<p>The first parameter lets you set the "selected" state of the menu.
